The matchup is finally set, and there will be plenty of familiarity between the two head coaches on the Lambeau Field sidelines this Saturday afternoon. The Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams will open up the NFL Divisional Playoffs with the first game of the weekend on Saturday, a contest that should feature plenty of intrigue even if it doesn’t have the sort of quarterback matchup that NFL media will be talking about all week.
Instead, the two dominant storylines for Packers-Rams will be (1) Matt LaFleur facing old boss Sean McVay for the first time and (2) the Packers’ top-ranked offense against the Rams’ top-ranked defense.
